ecosystems at risk ass. (1 Viewer)

[Natalie Chicken]

hey guys... i just started yr 12 n we're doing ecosystems at risk. i just received the first assignment on it which is a case study on an ecosystem of our choice, except coral reefs, n i have NO CLUE what to pick! i wanted to deserts but my teacher said that's hard.

so pleaseee if u have any suggestions or uve done it already n wanna give a poor soul like me some advice... ur welcome to !
thanks peoples! gl wit ur studies!

umm, The teacher let u choose one.
(I never got that choice, its not fair )

But back to the topic, I'd choose a case study that is in your textbook, that way most of the info u need will be in the textbook. I did intertidal wetlands and coastal dunes (which were both in my textbook). But if the teacher has given u a choice, then I'd pick an ecosystem that is both interesting and has easily accessible info (both on the web and in ur textbook)

But remember u need to choose an ecosystem that is AT RISK..
So maybe intertidal wetlands, alpine areas or any of the others the syllabus suggests.

But good luck for Yr12 and enjoy HSC Geography...

yeah I'd recommend Intertidal Wetlands or Coastal Dunes. I did these last year and there is so much good info on them in textbooks.

Alpine was good, and easy so was River Red Gum ecosystem

choose ecosystem which you know the best or which is most interesting for you. and choose ecosystem which is in your text book or you have good information on it. and good luck

thanks alot for all your help. you're right... there is tons of info on interdidal wetlands and costal dune systems. some on in my class is already doing the coastal dune systems, so i think ill stick to wetlands or alpine. thanks again n gl wit ur HSC!

You must have the "A Geography of Global Interactions 2" textbook by Grant Kleeman?
A decent textbook but I've heard theres a better one out there called "Macquarie HSC Geography" I think?

its the best book ever for geography, year 11s buy this book, it does not have any irrelevant information like in "glodal interactions".

yeah, we use the "geography of global interactions 2" textbook...i find it pretty good. for the ecosystems at risk we are doing Coastal Dunes for our assignment and Intertidal Wetlands in class. i think ill do Fraser Island for the assignment, being as sand island and all. although there a

i used global iteractions as a school text book and maq. as my own

 

[Natalie Chicken]

i picked intertidal wetlands... and global interactions 2 has a whole case study already done on it with all the headings my teacher has set for the report... the problem is, i cant summarise... and i totally cant plagarise cause its out class text book... any help is totally appreciate!! AAHHH ITS DUE IN TWO DAYS!! i procrastinate too much! thanks all!

Sounds like a large class...

We went on the Sydney tour of Pyrmont for urban consolidation and another of a large hotel for the economic activity...

 

[piccaninny]

i went to Pyrmont too and Towra point for ecosystem (i will never forget that)

 

[frodo]

yeah we went to towra point too we've already done our ecosystem at risk assessment on it, hopefully i went ok
